Yoko Ono: “I Had an Affair with Hillary Clinton in the ’70s”

Los Angeles | Yoko Ono shocked reporters yesterday when she responded to a question concerning the presidential run of Hillary Clinton and the possibility that she could become the first woman President of the United States in American history.

The artist and widow of John Lennon, who is in Los Angeles to present a collection of cups and saucers she is exhibiting at the Museum of Modern Art, totally took reporters by surprise by admitting she had not only met the former First Lady at various times during a series of protests against the Vietnam War in New York in the 1970s but also knew her “intimately”.

The celebrity admitted laughingly to having “a fling” with her at the time and acknowledged her election “would be a great advancement for LGBT and Women rights in America” she added.

Yoko Ono when asked about her thoughts about Hillary’s run for the presidency completely took reporters by surprise.

“We met many times during the New York Vietnam War protests in the 1970s, and became very intimate. We shared many of the same values about sexual equality, fighting against the authoritarian, patriarchal, male-dominated society we were raised in” she explained.

“We had a brief romantic fling when I lived with John in Manhattan and Hillary was studying at Yale, but eventually we lost touch. I am amazed how things are going well for her and wish her the best for her campaign” she told reporters during the press conference.

Experts believe the statement could affect the presidential candidates bid for the presidency but previous allegations of Hillary Clinton’s lesbian past have not seemed to play against the front runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential race yet.

New York Times to Obama: Hit Israel hard because Israel allowed Jews to build in their own country

The Jew Hating New York Times has demanded US President Barack Obama use his last months in office to hit Israel hard diplomatically.

Apparently, this is in response to the fact that the Israeli government "approved the construction of a new Jewish settlement in the West Bank," which is simply "another step in the steady march under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to build on land needed to create a Palestinian state."

Last week, the Israeli government approved a plan allowing Amona residents to move to the neighboring town of Shilo, where they would be housed in a new neighborhood on government land planned specially for them.

Shilo is a town in in the Biblical "hills of Ephraim," and is now under the jurisdiction of the Binyamin Regional Council.

Ukranian beating up Jews again ...Holocaust wasn't enough!

 A Lubavitch rabbi is fighting for his life after being subjected to a vicious beating this morning at a Ukranian train station.

Rabbi Mendel Deitsch, a Chabad shaliach who has been stationed in France and Israel, was believed to have spent Rosh Hashana in Haditch, Ukraine, the birthplace of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of the Lubavitch movement. 

Rabbi Deitsch was at the Zhitomir’s central train station this morning when he was brutally attacked by unknown assailants, reported Chabad.org.

Anti-Semitism is said to be rare in the Ukraine and it is unknown at this time if the attack on Rabbi Deitsch was religiously motivated.

According to Rabbi Shlomo Wilhelm, the Chabad shaliach to Zhitomir, Rabbi Deitsch was in extremely critical condition and was undergoing surgery as Shabbos began in the Ukraine.

Rabbi in Boro Park doesn't think Moshiach is coming anytime soon: Building a "Monster" Building!

 A vacant lot on a Borough Park corner may soon be the home to a synagogue of epic proportions.

Congregation Heichal Hatefillah, led by Rabbi Binyomin Eisenberger, has filed plans for a 93,720 square foot synagogue to be located at 1772 52nd Street, which runs from the southeast corner of Old New Utrecht Avenue on 52nd Street until 18th Avenue.

The six story building designed by prolific architect Karl Fischer, will have three floors located above ground, with the remaining three levels located below street level.  Plans for the structure include offices, banquet and lecture halls and an on-site mikvah. Living quarters for Rabbi Eisenberger are also included in the plan and are estimated at 12,224 square feet by real estate website New York Yimby.

Pictures of the proposed synagogue show a large airy space with numerous windows, two levels of women’s balconies on each side of the building and four long rows of wood encased seating to hold the many expected congregants.According to the Karl Fischer website, the synagogue is expected to be completed in 2017.

Fischer, who has offices in both New York and Montreal, has designed numerous buildings in Williamsburg as well as the 180,000 square foot Yeshiva Darchei Torah pre-school, elementary and junior high school campus in Far Rockaway.

Why I attack Satmar?

People constantly ask me why are you obsessed with Satmar? 
Why do all your posts somehow denigrate the SHIT'ah of Satmar .....??
The answer is that I believe that because Satmar is becoming a very strong majority in the frum world; the average Satmar family is 12 souls, it is imperative for frum Jews,that believe that G-D gave us Eretz Yisroel, to shout from the rooftops that the SHIT'ah is false, and is not part of our holy Torah and is in fact not Judaism!

  Emes Ve-Emunah, Harry Maryles, articulates this idea beautifully ...

There is a story about the Satmar Rebbe, R’ Yoel Teitelbaum that goes something like this:

When in 1968 Vice President Hubert Humphrey came to visit the Satmar Rebbe seeking his support for election to the Presidency, he asked the Rebbe what he could do for him. The Satmar Rebbe is purported to have said "Sell weapons to Israel!". People in attendance later asked the Rebbe, ‘How can you have advised Humphrey that way - when we know you are opposed to the State?’ The Rebbe supposedly answered that we have a disagreement with our family members but we don't want to see them hurt’. Supposedly the Rebbe added that when a Jew criticizes Israel it is anti Zionism. When a non Jew does that, it’s antisemitism.

One might admire the fact that the Rebbe did not let his antipathy to the State of Israel get in the way of protecting the people living there. And that he rightly labeled non Jewish critics of Israel – antisemites. One could admire that  if it were true. But apparently it never happened. The true story went something like this:

Humphrey visited the Rebbe and was treated cordially as he spoke about his support for Israel. The Rebbe listened to him without saying much. After leaving, the Rebbe was asked why he didn’t tell Humphrey that he was opposed to Israel. His answer was rhetorical, “What should I do, tell him about the Shalosh Shevuous (the 3 oaths mentioned in the Gemara which form the theological basis for his opposition to the State)?”

Was Rav Kook an Ish Tzar V'Oyev?

When asked whether a non Jew’s anti Zionism was tantamount to antisemitism he said, ‘No’. The video below explains all this – debunking the urban legend about the difference between the Satmar Rebbe’s public versus private persona vis-à-vis Israel. If the Rebbe was anything, he was consistent in his vitriol for the state.

As I’ve pointed out many times, his published statement that Rav Avraham Yitzchok Kook was an Ish Tzar V’Oyev - which basically compares him to Hitler - underscores that vitriol.

I have always maintained that it is the Satmar Rebbe himself that inspired people from extremists groups like Neturei Karta. Some of whose members have embraced Holocaust denying antisemites like former Iranian President Ahmad Amadinijad who along with Iran’s current supreme leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei has called for the annihilation of the Jewish state.

But Neurei Karta is not the alone in harboring this attitude. It is the same as the current Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg, R’ Zalman Leib Teitelbaum - and virtually all of his tens of thousands (if not more) Chasidim.

When I have made this accusation in the past, I was severely criticized for it. The claim was that even though they did not support the state, they would never make the kind of Chilul HaShem that those ‘Ahmadinijad kissing’ Neturei Kartaniks did! Well, apparently my critics have been proven wrong. Because as reported by Matzav - last Thursday in front of the United Nations at exactly the moment that Israel’s sitting prime minister spoke, the Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg succeeded in hosting thousands of his Chasidim in public protest against Israel. The supposed purpose was to oppose the new draft laws – which have already been defanged to the point of irrelevance by the very person they protested against.

They are of course entitled to express their views in public no different than any antisemite would. It’s called free speech. But I am also free to condemn it in public as a massive Chilul HaShem with the potential to do great damage to the Jewish people. Not to mention the fact that it could end up endangering the lives of all of Israel’s residents, including the many Satmar Chasidim that live there. 

That the US is now at its peak level of support to the Jewish State is based in large part (albeit not exclusively) on how the current politicians perceive American Jewish support of it. God in His infinite wisdom has given under 2% of the population tremendous influence on how their government treats Israel. 

But that support is not automatic. There are plenty of politicians in office that could easily turn on us. Some because they are closet antisemites, and some because they see the Arab world as a far more important strategic partner because of their oil and their exponentially greater  numbers. When these people see that many Jews – Jews that appear and claim to be the most religious among us protesting the state, that might turn the tide of support. Or at least lessen it to the point of reduced aid or elimination of aid altogether. It might also embolden more of those those politicians to support BDS which is increasingly becoming exposed as a purely anti Israel movement - and not just anti ‘West Bank settlement’ movement. 

I can’t blame the Chasidim themselves. They have been indoctrinated to see Israel only in the way the Satmar Rebbe sees it. In the rare circumstance that any of their Chasidim might see things differently, such dissent is not tolerated. That is the nature of relying on a supreme religious leader – whose views they see as Godly. If the Rebbe says it’s so, it is so. Period! End of discussion! Which is why so many Chasidim showed up for that protest.

What makes this protest so worse than those Neturei Karta protests is that Satmar is one of the fastest growing Jewish demographics in the world. They are multiplying exponentially with each succeeding generation - hating the Jewish state as much as their founder did. And becoming more public about it in greater numbers than ever. True - what Neturei Karta has done by raising he Palestinain flag, or attending pro Palestinians rallies, or by going to Iran to support their anti Israel views - are by themselves much worse acts. But they can be chalked up to a few crazies. When thousands of people show up to protest Israel at the UN during the prime minister’s speech - it is mainstream Chasidim doing it.

I therefore cannot condemn what they have done here enough. Unfortunately I am just a lone voice. And I’m sure there will be those that somehow find ways to defend them – adding to the Chilul HaShem – and the danger it may bring! 

I only wish other more prominent voices in the Jewish world would join me. It is time to once and for all sever any ties to this community and let the world know that Satmar does not speak for the Jewish people. Not even the Orthodox ones. 

Hillary Campaign Bus

R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of Monroe rules that the Marriage of Yoel and Chava Schwartz is Null and Void!

Religious Jews all over the world are in the midst of the "Aseres Yemei Tsuvah" and are making a reckoning of their actions from the past year; repenting and attempting to  rectify all the wrongs  they may have done to their fellow beings and their Creator.

But it seems that does not apply to Chassidishe Rebbes, specifically R' Aron Teitelbaum, Monroe Satmar Rebbe!

R' Aron is the one that wrote a letter to Senators and Congressman asking them  to  boycott Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to congress. Netanyahu was addressing both houses of congress  begging them to persuade the Obama administration not to hand nuclear arms into the hands of the Iranian Jew murderers. Even though he knew that Netanyahu was invited by the Speaker of the House.

Not content with throwing all Jews residing in Israel under the bus, he went out of his way to ostracize a young Satmar couple that reside in Kiryas Yoel , that got married in Woodbury, a stone's throw from Monroe.  

Yoel and Chava Schwarts got married properly under Jewish Law, but R' Aron, the dictator of Monroe, declared long ago that anyone that resides in Monroe must get married under his jurisdiction with one of his goons acting as the Mesader Kiddushin...

Since the Schwartz' "violated" his precept, he went bonkers and wrote the above Kol Korah , naming them by name and writing that their marriage is not recognized by their Kehilah and they " must get remarried by one of R' Aron's  own" gangsters! And if they ignore the "edict" they "will pay dearly" for their infraction.

Satmar is divided into 3 factions: 

The two feuding brothers: The Aronim under R' Aron Teitelbaum, and the Zilonim under R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, 

and the Bnei Yoel who hate both of them!

All three factions live also in Monroe and have their own institutions and Shuls in Kiryas Yoel.

But since R' Aron lives there as well. he considers himself the king and wants all the residents in Monroe to be his subjects! 

But Satmars will remain Satmars ... and the Zalonim and the Bnei Yoel thumb their fingers at him and ignore him and act as if R' Aron is an annoying  fly on the wall! 

So the Schwartz' who I presume are Bnei Yoel ignored the king and will now pay dearly for the "mischief"  they did ...which was getting married under the halacha but not under the direction of R' Aron's gangsters!

A Git Genbentched Yuhr! 

How NOT talking Loshon Hara can destroy the Jewish People

The following is a true record of events regarding an institution that is close to our hearts. The institution was located in a community where many of our children currently reside. It is a most unfortunate story.

INITIALS ARE BEING USED

Initials and first names only have been used so as not to disclose the identities of the parties involved. The truth is, however, that perhaps their identities should be disclosed. If we do not disclose them, the lessons contained in this narrative will not be learned. Some may think that the disclosure of the names of the parties involved might constitute Lashon Harah. The 5TJT editorial staff believes otherwise, but if you feel differently, you will be warned with ample time.

THE PEOPLE INVOLVED

“Ben N.” is a well respected and reputable individual – well-liked both by the Rabbinic and Jewish political establishment, and especially by Rabbi G, the head of the institution involved.
“Yochanan” is someone that thinks differently. He has a very low regard for “Ben N” – suspecting him of very base motives. The atmosphere, however, in the community is one of strong appreciation and regard for the laws of Lashon Harah. It seems that anything Yochanan will say will be dismissed. He will be labeled as a “Baal Lashon Harah.”
Yochanan means well. He wishes to protect the institution. It seems, however, that one man’s protective intent is another man’s violation of Lashon Horah’s prohibitions. Yochanan approaches Rabbi G and gives him his information about Ben N. He hopes that Rabbi G will be reasonable and at least take some action to protect the institution.

RABBI G SAYS IT IS LASHON HARAH

Unfortunately, Yochanan’s worst fears are realized. Rabbi G refuses to listen to Yochanan – labeling what he says as pure, unadulterated Lashon Harah. Yochanan pleads:
“At least listen, then decide..”

“No. Chas V’Shalom.”

“I need you to stop this Lashon Harah immediately. Period. End of story.”

——————————————————-WARNING—————————————–

5TJT EDITORS BELIEVE THAT THIS NEWS ARTICLE IS NOT LASHON HARAH. HOWEVER, IF YOU FEEL THAT THIS IS LASHON HORAH – DO NOT READ FURTHER AS MORE DETAILS WILL EMERGE REGARDING THE IDENTITIES OF THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED AS WELL AS THE INSTITUTION.

Pence vs the anti-Semite Kaine!

There were 70 interruptions because Pence was interrupted 70 times.

 I don't care how you think he did, he was interrupted 70 times.   Seventy different times a serious effort was made to silence Mike Pence.  

We deserve better than this -- and the moderator was worthless, totally over her head, not qualified.  

For every Kaine interruption, you have to conclude 70 things Pence didn't get to say, 70 times Pence didn't get finished -- 70 times Pence was prevented from giving his thoughts.  

They were terrified of any right-leaning, mainstream American ideas entering the public arena.  Just shout out over and over that Trump loves Putin, that Mexicans are rapists, that women are pigs -- and those tax returns, yeah! Just keep pounding those tax returns. 

 Don't let anybody talk about, say, job creation.  No, no, we can't talk about job creation.  The government does that already. The government's doing great, like 15 million new jobs, the interrupter kept shouting last night, 15 million new jobs. 

What 15 million new jobs?  

There are 94 million Americans not working, 15 million new jobs?  What are they?  

They're part-time jobs, people hired, so companies can escape Obamacare, which even Bill Clinton is out trashing now.  And don't let's talk about the results of illegal immigration.  No, no, no, we can't talk about immigration honestly.  We can't permit any honest characterization of what's happening to this country because of illegal immigration, because there are too many potential Democrat votes tied up in it.  So we can't allow anybody to actually discuss this in a truthful and honest manner. 

Blacks for Trump! Video

The New York Times Paid No Taxes in 2014

The New York Times has excited the Clinton campaign and the rest of the media with a revelation that Republican nominee Donald Trump declared a $916 million loss in 1995 that might have resulted in him not paying taxes in some subsequent years.

The implication, reinforced by CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union on Sunday morning, is that Trump “avoided” paying taxes, when in fact his tax liability was zero.

But the Times itself has “avoided” paying taxes — in 2014, for example.

As Forbes noted at the time:

… for tax year 2014, The New York Times paid no taxes and got an income tax refund of $3.5 million even though they had a pre-tax profit of $29.9 million in 2014. In other words, their post-tax profit was higher than their pre-tax profit. The explanation in their 2014 annual report is, “The effective tax rate for 2014 was favorably affected by approximately $21.1 million for the reversal of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations.” If you don’t think it took fancy accountants and tax lawyers to make that happen, read the statement again.

New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended Trump on Sunday, telling NBC News’ Meet the Press that Trump was a “genius” in business who was simply doing what the tax code allows every American to do by counting losses against tax liabilities, and bouncing back from failure to success.

That would include the New York Times — which, however, is still struggling.

Happy New Year! Gazan terror tunnel collapses, kills 3

A terror tunnel in Northern Gaza Strip collapsed on Thursday. According to reports, three Hamas activists were killed and several others were injured.

Channel 2 reported that since the beginning of the year, 19 Hamas activists have been killed by collapsed terror tunnels.
Eight Palestinian tunnel operatives were wounded in a tunnel collapse in August in the northern Gaza border town of Shuja’yya, according to Ma’an News Agency.

A number of tunnels have collapsed on Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad tunnel operatives in the past year.

Israel's views the tunnels as a major security threat and have reportedly drawn up plans to protect Israel's southern communities. 

Israel’s defense establishment plans to build a concrete wall that goes tens of yards underground as well as above ground along the Gaza Strip border.

The plan, revealed in June on the front page of the Israeli daily newspaper Yediot Aharonot,will cost an estimated $568 million, less than previously estimated, according to the report.

Did Hillary cheat at the presidential debate?

Watch how the "man" hands back Hillary papers to moderator Holt?

What just happened??

"Miss Piggy" Alicia Machado accused of threatening to kill judge in late '90s

The fat Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, cited by Hillary Clinton in the first presidential debate as an example of Donald Trump's mistreatment of women, has a complicated past.

Shortly after she won her crown in the late '90s, a judge in Venezuela accused Machado of threatening to kill him after he indicted her then-boyfriend for attempted murder.

Machado threatened "to ruin my career as a judge and ... kill me,'' Judge Maximiliano Fuenmayor said at the time.

Her boyfriend, Juan Rafael Rodriguez Regetti, was accused of shooting and wounding his sister's husband, who he blamed for his sister's suicide.

Rodriguez was accused of shooting and wounding Francisco Antonio Sbert Mousko outside a church in Caracas where his wife -- Rodriguez's sister -- was being eulogized.

Sbert reportedly suffered brain damage from the attack.

The victim's family accused Machado of driving her boyfriend's getaway car, but she denied any involvement and apparently was never indicted, due to lack of evidence.

Now a U.S. citizen, Machado told reporters Tuesday in a conference call arranged by Hillary Clinton’s campaign that her experience with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump could "open eyes" in the election. 

After the debate, Machado tweeted her thanks to Clinton, writing in Spanish: "Thanks Mrs. Hillary Clinton. Your respect for women and our differences makes you great. I'm with you."

In June, Machado appeared at a news conference in Virginia held by immigrant advocacy groups to encourage Latino voters to support Clinton.

Machado says that when she gained weight after being crowned Miss Universe for 1996, Trump, who ran the pageant, labeled her "Miss Piggy."

Asked about the exchange during an interview Tuesday with "Fox & Friends," Trump said Machado was "the worst we ever had," adding: "She gained a massive amount of weight. It was a real problem."

After the debate, Clinton's campaign quickly released a web video detailing Machado's story, portraying her as a mortified pageant winner whom Trump called "fat" or "ugly" and who was blindsided by reporters Trump invited to watch her work out.

Hundreds Of Passengers will now have to spend Rosh Hashana with their wives and children after Chartered Uman Flight is Cancelled

Notice the Tefillin bag has the Acronym TIPISH ... fool  

Terrible news for the frum oilim that were traveling to a Rebbe that passed away many years ago, they will nebech have to spend Yom Tov with their families!

They will now be forced to bring their children to shul, have to daven and learn with them .......

The New Year starting out just great!

Hundreds of people scheduled to leave New York on Wednesday night for Uman have just been notified that the flight has been cancelled.

The tickets were sold by a well-respected travel agency, and the passengers were being flown on a privately chartered 747. The flight was advertised as a direct flight.

Although it is unclear about why exactly the flight was cancelled, sources say that the flight did not have the appropriate landing permits in Ukraine, prompting the cancellation of the flight.

Passengers who spoke to the travel agency are being told that their money was being refunded, and being told that they can try and make alternate travel arrangements.

The following email was written by one of the flight organizers:

Dear friends,

This past summer we attempted to organize a charter flight to the Zion of Rabeini Hakodosh so that our community can travel to Uman for Rosh Hashanah. With Hashem’s help we made contact with a reputable charter company that was willing to provide us with a reasonably priced flight option that would be best suitable for our community.

We reached out to Do All Travel to assist us in servicing the community to book and ticket this charter flight. Do All Travel put in their best effort to service the positive response.

Unfortunately at the last minute we received word from the charter company that due to issues beyond their control there will be no flight leaving tonightfor Kiev in time for Rosh Hashanah. We profusely apologize for the situation and we understand your disappointment. We take full responsibility for this unfortunate situation.

May hashem help that with all of your good intentions you should merit to a healthy and fruitful year.

With sincere appolgies,

Yoily Gertner
